Ada is working to get her business off and running when she accepts her first big job on a ranch in Wyoming. The evening before her first day, she meets a handsome cowboy at a local dive bar. She gets the surprise of a lifetime when that handsome cowboy winds up being Weston, her new boss.
This was a cute small town, cowboy romance. Due to the lack of a real conflict, I found the plot to be pretty one note and flat. The characters were adorable and had obvious chemistry, but there wasn't a lot of depth. I felt like we got snippets of their past, but there were a lot of pieces missing.
Ada is a budding designer and has taken the job to renovate the Rider family cabin. After her divorce, she has decided that she cannot rely on or trust anyone but herself. Wes immediately starts to tear down her walls. Though her instinct is to fight her feelings and flee, she eventually learns to open herself up to developing friendships and relationships and to trust others again.
Gus is a typical middle child, just floating along with nothing of his own. He feels like turning Baby Blue, the old cabin, into a guest accommodation will finally allow him to live up to his siblings. He is so honest about his struggles with depression and his openness to discuss it is refreshing. He is immediately drawn to Ada and is so patient while he waits for her to catch up to where he is at.
I am most excited about Teddy's book! The tension continues to grow!
Tropes: Forced proximity, Small town, Cowboy/City girl, Mental health rep, found family, workplace, black cat/golden retriever
